Its a shame really, but its a lesson to be learned I guess.

Well damn, the first time I didn’t move on to the finals. Oh wait, it’s the 15th time.

Hey, for curiosity here. @CorsicaUnknown how you know he frauded?
ROUND I, PART II
Returning from his quick 26 hour break, Dario sits down next to Mablo.
Sierrabar: You really took your time there.
Dario: Ah well I had other important stuff to do. Anyways, let’s continue.
@Hilbert - Kiran Jeita
The Kiran Jeita puts sportiness above all else.
POSITIVES
+Performance
+Fuel economyNEGATIVES
-Sacrifices in ride comfort
-Plain styling
Sierrabar: I’m not looking for a full on sports car and this is what they’ve given me. Quickly tell me, are there any positives to this thing?
Dario: Umm, it’s relatively cheap to run?
Sierrabar: Not good enough.
The Kiran Jeita has not made it through.
@mart1n2005 - Courageux Courchevel LX
The Courchevel definitively sticks to its French roots.
POSITIVES
+Interior space
+Very safe
+PriceNEGATIVES
-Surprisingly stiff suspension
-Gearbox
Sierrabar: Another case of a cheaper price for a cheaper interior here. At least this one looks nice, even if the design itself isn’t very special. Running this thing won’t be very expensive either, but again, I’d rather choose something more expensive so I’d get a better interior too.
Dario: Well, this is pretty quick?
Sierrabar: We’ve seen a lot of those already, man.
The Courageux Courchevel LX has not made it into the finals.
@Sir_Night282nd - Moteur Devoir Crown LX
What the Moteur Devoir Crown LX gains with ride quality, it loses with fuel economy while being on the edge of the price limit.
POSITIVES
+Ride quality
+Interior quality and materials
+Subtle stylingNEGATIVES
-Space
-Fuel economy and performance in relation to the competition
Sierrabar: This comes in a nice blue but I’m not too sure about that hunchback rear. Is the inside any good?
Dario: Yeah, it’s high quality and comfortable. And well, it’s good.
Sierrabar: …just good? Does it not have anything else going for it?
Dario: I mean, it’s decently fast but most other cars are faster. And same can be said for running costs, and safety equipment. It’s just good.
Sierrabar: I see what you’re saying.
The Moteur Devoir Crown LX has not made it to the finals.
@VicVictory - Keystone Senator M37
The Keystone Senator is the cheapest car in the test, but compromises are little.
POSITIVES
+Low price
+Braking performance
+Running costsNEGATIVES
-Interior space
Sierrabar: Oh man, this interior really isn’t as good as most of the others here.
Dario: It is pretty quick though, and relatively cheap to run.
Sierrabar: I said, the interior isn’t as good as the others! And what is this styling anyway?
Dario: It’s inoffensive, that’s what I’d say.
Sierrabar: This is one of the dullest pieces of engineering I’ve ever seen, with its completely flat sides and bumpers! Not to mention the styling itself.
Dario: Right, I guess you have your mind set up.
The Keystone Senator M37 has not made it to the finals.
@Repti - Veldora Doragon SLR MT
The Veldora Doragon SLR MT is a surprising value for money.
POSITIVES
+Price
+Fuel economy
+Interior qualityNEGATIVES
-Gearbox
-Firm suspension
Sierrabar: Ooh boy, this looks distinctive.
Dario: That a bad thing?
Sierrabar: Not at all, I quite like this.
Dario: Yeah, well I’m not a fan of this 4-speed manual.
Sierrabar: This is the part when I’m supposed demean you but isn’t that pretty normal?
Dario: It might be, but considering this engine isn’t exactly the most responsive, it could lead to a sluggish ride.
Sierrabar: I see…
The Veldora Doragon SLR MT has not made it to the finals.
@CMT - Wagner Europa 460
The Wagner Europa is a car which exists, we think. The interior is not as good as can be found on the other cars.
POSITIVES
+Running costs
+PerformanceNEGATIVES
-Design
-Luggage space
-Reliability records
Dario: I would’ve told you to look at this but I guess there’s really nothing to view here.
Sierrabar: Zzzzzzz……
Dario: It’s definitely quick but I know this interior isn’t for you…
Sierrabar: Zzzzzzz……
Dario: Oh boy, this thing isn’t overly reliable either.
Sierrabar: Zzzzzzz……
Dario: Handling isn’t bad though.
The Wagner Europa 460 has not made it to the finals.
@NoahC - Yinzer Diplomatica ParDakar
What the hell is there to say about this thing
POSITIVES
+Performance
+Braking powerNEGATIVES
-Design
-Fuel economy
-Color choice
-Sluggish engine
Dario: It seems to be ready to crawl with its offroad-specialized skidtray.
Sierrabar: I don’t give a rats ass about that, I just want to know what the designers were thinking when they greenlit this car with its unfathomable design! Also why on earth does this come with a pearlescent color?!
Dario: …
Sierrabar: …
Dario: It’s pretty quick.

@GetWrekt01 - Gerade 735V Autobahn Special
The Gerade 735V is nothing exceptional.
POSITIVES
+Performance
+Fuel economy
+InteriorNEGATIVES
-Reliability records
-Small interior
Sierrabar: It’s another decent one that doesn’t strike a cord with me.
Dario: What’s wrong now? It seems decent to me.
Sierrabar: Eh… its just going to be too expensive in the long run, and the interior isn’t too big. The design is decent, nothing special.
Dario: Right, if you say so.
The Gerade 735V Autobahn Special has not made it to the finals.
@ProfessorP3PP3R - Silver-York Sovereign
The Silver-York Sovereign returns with exceptional levels of comfort.
POSITIVES
+Interior

+Interior space
+StylingNEGATIVES
-Fuel economy
Sierrabar: YES!
Dario: My god, this really is as comfortable as a soft couch, isn’t it. It looks great too.
Sierrabar: GIVE IT TO ME!!
Dario: And is this safety rating real or is it a mistype? Because this thing is damn safe.
Sierrabar: WHAT I JUST SAID WAS AN ORDER, DID YOU NOT HEAR ME?!
Dario: Oh, I just thought you were breaking character.
The Silver-York Sovereign has made it to the finals.
@Kyuu77 - KGB Lynx
From a design standpoint, the KGB Lynx is interesting. And not vey nice.
POSITIVES
+Performance
+BrakingNEGATIVES
-Design
-Fuel economy
-Running costs
Sierrabar: Eh, it’s another car trying to be a sports car and a luxury car at the same time, which just brings compromises to the luxury side. It’s expensive to run too, I’m not interested.
Dario: …what were you saying? I was just looking at this design and thinking how anyon-
Sierrabar: Not interested.
The KGB Lynx has not made it to the finals.
@PigEqualsBakon - Corvelius Bombay
Riding in a Corvelius Bombay is like sitting on a cloud.
POSITIVES
+Incredibly comfortable suspension
+All-Wheel Drive

Sierrabar: Wow… I guess someone did manage my dream of a fast cloud.
Dario: I’m not sure if I’ll like how it drives.
Sierrabar: Doesn’t matter right now.
The Corvelius Bombay has made it to the finals.
@Watermelon3878 - Bauer M35 Executive
The Bauer M35 Executive shines when it comes to speed.
POSITIVES
+Speed
+PriceNEGATIVES
-Reliability records
-Handling and driving experience
Sierrabar: Yeah, this seems decent. The ride doesn’t appear to be as comfy as most of the other ones, but it’s fine.
Dario: Think of the costs then, it’s relatively cheaper to buy and run!
Sierrabar: Yeah, no. Not a huge of the styling either, seems a bit bland.
The Bauer M35 Executive has not made it to the finals.
Dario: Okay, so, you’re not gonna believe this.
Sierrabar: Oh for crying out loud, again?
Dario: Don’t worry, at least this time you’ll have to wait about as long.

If that one was a black one, instead of that beautiful blue, I think we would already have a winner, it would made it much more mafia, Dario would love it too
And for the reviews here, I think i already know what would be my submit review 
A ‘design is decent’ from Corsica will do for me for the time being. Had fun designing for this CSR and don’t regret any of it one bit.
Also I’m an idiot for not going for a 2.8m body but oh well.

I detuned the engine for this purpose and it’s only a 3.5L compared to the competition with burly V8’s, that’s a pleasant surprise to hear!
Was the not-a-manual thing a factor? I’d have loved to put one, but didn’t for drivability.

If there’s music playing over the 3rd prelim, or the finals, it should definitely be Smuggler’s Blues or Rush Rush.
I imagine that being a video of a persecution and the eliminated cars being thrown on a tree or being shot by Dario. Imagine this on a top-down view while playing Smugger Blue’s. And the One that wins finishing the video on a top of a mountain with Sun behind it hohohohoh
I thought the moonroof on top was going to be the death knell for my car. 
But to make a car that was an admirable effort for the contest and spending my time to revamp it definitely made this challenge a whole lot of fun.
looks like Im going to have to export my car again huh.
Extremely happy to be a finalist though! First CSR and this farther than I thought I would go.

Dario: Ooh, this one seems to drive and handle excellently!
Sierrabar: Other than being fit for you, what does it have for me?
Dario: It has a great interior and seems to be pretty comfortable, I guess.
Sierrabar: Seems good so far, not mentioning the design which is also good.
Dario: I presume this one goes through then?
The Legore Monterosa has made it to the finals.
@Rk38 - DHB DJ774G 6.0
While reading about the next car, Dario receives a phone call. Whipping out his Rotomola DynoTEC brick, he answers the call.
Sierrabar: Who’s calling you?
Dario: …grey import…Anikatia…bunch of letters…
Sierrabar: …
Dario: Hangs up - Okay, I got a call from Diaz, saying he just unloaded a DHB on the docks. It’s practically brand new and has a V8…
Sierrabar: What, you want me to take a look at it?
Dario: Yes, that’s the point I was trying to make.
Sierrabar: Ahh fine.

-Long name
Dario: Congrats Mablo, this one is relatively cheap, quick and has a great interior.
Sierrabar: That’s all good, I’m just more intrigued with the compliments about its reliability.
Dario: The spoiler might seem a bit like overkill… but really, that’s my only complaint here.
The Zimmer-Wagner L846i has made it to the finals.
@Mikonp7 - Mikaza P (4DEU)
The Mikaza P brings superb handling for a lower price.
POSITIVES
+Fuel economy
+Handling
+DesignNEGATIVES
-Relative performance
-Interior and luggage space
Sierrabar: Look at this thing, the Japanese have made something that doesn’t look like an appliance!
Dario: That’s offensive. Anyways, the interior equipment and quality is good but not as good as in the Zimmer-Wagner. It’s also slightly more expensive and costlier to run.
Sierrabar: What a shame, I really liked the look of this one.
Dario: It’s slower too.
Sierrabar: I got what you were saying before, no need to rub it in.
The Mikaza P has not made it to the finals.

The Banthaar Vanter is another good performer.
POSITIVES
+Performance
+Safety equipment and rating
+DesignNEGATIVES
-Handling
-Running costs
Sierrabar: Look at this, it looks classy and nice!
Dario: It’s pretty quick but then again, the handling apparently falls flat. Which doesn’t come as surprise considering that it’s such a luxury car actually - though it is a surprise that the suspension isn’t all that soft for a car like this.
Sierrabar: It says here that the Vanter is “perhaps another benchmark for other cars, in the same vein as the Honghu and the Anhultz”. I want something better than just a benchmark.
The Banthaat Vanter has not made it to the finals.

Another relatively cheap car, the Kansei Aspera is surprisingly comfortable.
POSITIVES

-Mediocre handling
-Mediocre interior
Sierrabar: My god if I’m not in love with the look of this one… it’s just so good.
Dario: Let me ruin this one for you, they’ve gone the cheap route with a mediocre interior and quite a small V8. That means it goes from 0 to 60 in 8 seconds.
Sierrabar: Oh what a ruiner of fun you happen to be.
Dario: It’s pretty cheap to run and has AWD, but I don’t think that’s really enough to tie you back in, is it?
Sierrabar: Hnghhh
The Kansei Aspera has not made it to the finals.

-Braking performance
Sierrabar: Hmm, perhaps I could go for something huge like this. Though since it is what it is, the interior and design aren’t really on par with these other luxury sedans.
Dario: Well it’s big so it’s not going to be fun to drive and it’s not very fast either. I don’t want it.
Sierrabar: Here’s the one time I’m going to agree with you.
The Albatross Mammoth has not made it to the finals.

Dario: The interior is good but my god the suspension has not been tuned for comfort.

Sierrabar: This seems good. Comfortable, has a nice interior.
Dario: Hmm… it’s not that fast.
Sierrabar: What? Seems perfectly to me.
Dario: I mean in the sense when you compare it to what else we’re planning to drive.
Sierrabar: Okay, whatever you think. I’m more worried about this line however - “the engine is not all too quiet, a shame considering the rather uninspiring engine noise”.
Dario: Oh dear, it’s not even all that nice to drive. I’m not sure about this.
Sierrabar: Well I like it. I’m not craving for it, but I like it.
Dario: That’s a 50/50 split here, man.

Sierrabar: And another looker here, this looks really rather fantastic.
Dario: I agree, it’s pretty rad.
Sierrabar: Other than the design… that suspension is not suited for a luxury car like this one. Running this thing won’t be incredibly cheap either, but I guess that’s not a big issue.
Dario: It’s quick, driving it wouldn’t be anything special though.
Sierrabar: That presumably sums it up then.

Dario: You won’t like this chief, there’s a decent interior here for the sake of being cheaper.
Sierrabar: First of all, don’t call me chief. Second of all, yes I would have preferred a better interior for more money. The real downfall is the suspension however, it’s just not all that comfortable.

Sierrabar: So from what I can gather, it’s comfortable and has a great interior and after that it’s pretty average.
Dario: Yep, I think you’re right. Decently quick, decently reliable and they’ve skimped out a bit with the safety here.
